Kappa Mikey (Monster Transformation)

Kappa Mikey was a cartoon spoof of several types of anime, though the title character was a generic American superhero. In "The Night of the Werepuff" (Season 02, Episode 15), Mikey is bitten by a "werepuff," and on the full moon turns into a very puffy, hair-covered weremonster who likes to eat people's clothes. I've edited together two of his transformations, along with some clothes-munching scenes. The second is better than the first, though everything is animated in cheap-looking flash.





P.S. In case you missed it, Dutchbull updated his wonderful site earlier this month. Among the many riches on display are the transformation scenes from the Spanish werewolf horror comedy Lobos De Arga, made with old-fashioned prosthetics and guys in suits. The throwback approach works far better than almost any CGI transformation you can think of.
